3PUnMon'r BRADFORD, of New Hoven, in the county `of `New Haven 'and Startetjof Connecticut, have invented u new Improvement in Twine-Box; und we do hereby declare the following, when taken in connection ,'with the uccornpanyingdrawing und; the letters of ref' i. a self-noting friction toprevent the twinel from running too freely from the box; also in a devicefor suspending or hanging the holder.

The invention consists in constructing the holder n with a. recess or chamber around the opening through fwhich the twine runs, and the arrangement therein of fa. ball (Jr-weight which lieslupon the/twine, bearing with suiicient force to prevent the twine runningtoo freely, vund `yet so thatit muy be dratwu from the Also, informing upon one side of one pnrtof the holder o, hook or curs, by

. means of which-the holdernnty be secured or sus- Wpended. i i

A "is one 'part,`B, the other part, of a. common twineholder. i l

h `At the pointe, through which the twine isdmwn, weform `:trecess 0,1 `into which we place ubztll D, `the hnllvnmde of metal, oruny suitable muteriztl of .sufficient weight. to produce the desired result.

`The bull of twine. E is placed inthe holder in the use-:il manner, the end of the twine passed through the opening a., then the `hull D plgtced into the recess upon the` twine, so that when the' twine is drawn from the holder the bztlllwill roll in its seut,.or conse sodi-- In this particular clztss of' holders itV usual for (the twine to bevdretwn throughthe lowest point; but vin other holders, such as :tre placed uponV the counter, .where 'the twine is drawn through the top, lit will be evident that' the .relative position of the chomberto the holder must be reversed, as seen iu'g. 3.V j v Upon one side of one of the parts (by preference A) A we form, during theprocess of castings. :projectingl enr d, here divided intotwo parts, each palrt'perfornted,

'for the insertion of screws through, the ,per forzttions,

by means of which screws the holder maybe'seoured to the woll, edge of the vshelf, or other desirable posi-` tion. Below-thefeurs we extend 4at tongue c', its vseen in iigs. 3 und 4, und by inserting'this tongue intofa; loop -or other device, which muy be secured :to the pince where -it is desired' to suspend the` holder,l the V holder is held in that position.

. lhis construction affords the choice-of two devices for securing the holder, either one ofwhich maybe used, the tongue c possessing this ztdvtintnge,'thztt the holder muy be easily detached.'y Either 'one of the d evices, thntlis,`the tongue or ears, muy be formed without the other, but we prefer both together.-
